ACC 1/2 DOT carbon fiber.

I do have one concern with this helmet; if I push up on the front the helmet it will slide up. Had it remade 2x to no avail. The manufacturer now wants torelocate the chin stap forward.

Does any others with this type helmet have this problem?

3/4, and it doesn't matter how cold or hot it gets, the face shield does the job.

I'm shocked too. I wore one for about 6 months. Couldn't take it anymore. I wonder just how many actually have experience riding without helmets.

Full face for cold weather and highway. I also like to wear it when wife rides with me. The helmet is set up with a Blueant Interphone system.

During hot weather wear Harley 1/2 helmet.
